I wonder if he scribbelled "Chas. Rex"? It doesn't look like he scribed a "III"...

Ultimately it took nearly 7 hours to travel from Balmoral to Holyrood Palace. Evidently they put the pedal down once they got past Perth.

Better crowd turn out than I was expecting, which is good. Unfortunately the drone couldn't follow the cortege through Aberdeen because it would have crossed the flightpath for Dyce Airport. If anyone was wondering why the drone stopped and drifted north, that's the reason.

I've already seen people on Twitter complaining about a lack of Union flags being waved by the crowd. Apart from a hardcore, most people up here feel no need to wave a bit of bunting around just to show their patriotism.

Tis the 'Daily Fail' which says it all for me.

(An off topic comment but still within the Royalist)

In a Danish article it was said that the British people didn't knew who our Danish Queen was-The reporter showed them a picture to the people on the street In London.

The Reporter said to them that she is now the longest sitting Queen still alive-50 Years on the throne and fully fresh with some back problems.

The Article also told me that some Queens are more known than others..
Back to discussing the New King Charles III

Well I've got to say after going through some of the news coverage that Scotland, a country many would argue have a growing number of people routing for independence, they are certainly doing Her Majesty proud.

The Queen's coffin has been taken from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to St Giles' Cathedral where a service is being held.

King Charles III, along with his brothers and sister, led the procession along the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.

A service of remembrance is being held before mourners are allowed to go in to pay their respects.

Earlier, King Charles made his first address as monarch to MPs and peers in Parliament and promised "selfless duty"

A national minute's silence will be held on Sunday at 8pm - the night before the Queen's funeral in Westminster Abbey.

Well natch'; she was wearin' a kilt for her last official act Mon! I'm watching the service on CNN at St Giles as I post. Westminister Cathedral will be stepping up to the mark!

Good the other spectators toke care of him.

This is not the time to criticize anyone from the Royal family

A single protestor hurls abuse at the procession.

He is quickly dealt with.

The crowds drown out his shouting with chants of ‘God Save The King’

Edit
Looks like he has been charged

The man was pulled out of the queue by two bystanders and was later arrested and charged.
